What to Thank For Beyond Breast Cancer

I thank God and all the medical staff responsible for my breast cancer treatment.

I thank fate that I do not have the breast cancer genes BRCA 1 and 2. Yup, I can save those ovaries!

I thank God that I continue to be in remission.

I thank family and friends for putting up with me through the rough months.

You see, it is this season last year when I thought I received a gruesome life sentence. This time around, I feel so much alive and in good health. I share you my happiness. Have a great Thanksgiving week, you all.

A small feast for a small group. I actually had the mood to prepare most of this food from scratch.

Saint Peregrine Prayer for people with cancer

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you.

For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you.

(Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying)

Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy.
Amen.

Cancer Of The Breast…

(a borrowed poem)
[...] Cancer of the breast
from east and west;
it seems Pandora's box is
making a big mess.

A Prayer When In Pain

I am bowed down and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.
My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.

All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.
---------Psalm 38:6-9 (TNIV)
